TIMMS v. SULLIVAN (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Gerald Wayne TIMMS, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Warden SULLIVAN, Respondent-Appellee.
Gerald Wayne Timms, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Warden Sullivan, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 20-6667, No. 20-6668

Decided: October 06, 2020

Before NIEMEYER and KEENAN, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.

Gerald Wayne Timms, Appellant Pro Se.

Gerald Wayne Timms, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the district court.^* Timms v. Sullivan, Nos. 5:19-hc-02192-D, 5:19-hc-02220-D (E.D.N.C. Apr. 28, 2020). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

FOOTNOTES

FOOTNOTE. We note that Timms’ suits should not have been dismissed as redundant or duplicative, as the instant suits involved a different defendant from those cited by the district court, and the instant suits did not both raise the same claims.

PER CURIAM:

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
